Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- the presence of significant cataract interfering with vision (visual acuity ≤ 0.5) in the presence POAG.
- if cataract was associated with uncontrolled glaucoma, (IOP \> 21 mmHg despite maximally tolerated medical therapy)
- if the IOP was ≤ 21 mmHg with use of at least two antiglaucoma drugs with medication intolerance
- poor patient compliance
- patients could not attend medical supervision
- patients had visual field deterioration.
Exclusion
- closed-angle glaucoma
- other types of open angle glaucoma (OAG), e.g. pigmentary glaucoma, inflammatory glaucoma or neovascular glaucoma,
- previous ocular trauma or surgery
- lens subluxation
- any eye diseases affecting the vision, e.g. anterior uveitis
- if there was a large perforation of the Descemet's membrane with iris prolapse during surgery (cases with microperforation, which is defined as small perforation with no associated iris prolapse, occurring during surgery were not excluded) intraoperative complications that might affect the IOP, e.g. vitreous loss.
